THANK YOU
We would like to thank everyone who supported and attended the Quiz Night and Family Disco. They were both a huge success and we raised a profit of £591.22. WELL DONE!

Thank you to all of you who ordered from the Christmas fund raising catalogue. We will be receiving £202.80 in educational vouchers later this month, which I’m sure will be put to good use.

FAMILY ASSEMBLY FRIDAY 31ST MAY AT 2PM

GOLDEN JUBILEE COINS
FOHS will be presenting each pupil with a commemorative golden jubilee coin at the above family assembly.

THEMED MUFTI-DAY
We will be encouraging children to come to school in themed clothing in line with the golden jubilee (ie red, white & blue, queens/kings). Instead of our usual donation of £1 per person we would like each child to contribute a bottle of any description (ie wine, spirits, champagne, shampoo, bubble bath, soft drinks, preserves, fruit/spice oil bottles or any other type of bottle not mentioned.) These will be used for a tombola stall at the Summer Fete.

GRAND PRIX TICKETS
We have two Grand Prix tickets for this years Silverstone race on Sunday 7th July. If you would like to enter this raffle please enclose £10 in a sealed envelope with your name, address or telephone number on the front of the envelope and hand into a classroom rep, Debbie, Michelle or Jo. This will be drawn at the above Family Assembly. We also have a second prize of a BAR factory visit tour for two people.

SUMMER FETE ON SATURDAY 22ND JUNE (12-4PM)
We hope to have lots of stalls and activities for you and your family to enjoy, but would like to ask for any volunteers to either help set up the fete or help run a stall on a rotational basis. If you able to help out in any way please let Debbie or Michelle know. More details on the fete to follow in future newsletters. Please remember all parents are welcome to attend.

NEXT MEETING WEDNESDAY 20TH MARCH 7.30PM AT SCHOOL
